Strangers to the Hills

Lansdowne, Uttarakhand
2 Days / 1 Nights Lansdowne, Uttarakhand Official Itinerary

About this tour

Lansdowne is a quiet military hill town in Uttarakhand that stays crowd-free even in peak season. In monsoon the forests go fully green, mist rolls in every morning and the temperature stays around 18-24 degrees. On this trip we do a lake boat ride, valley viewpoints, a forest walk, bonfire night and a local market stroll — all at a relaxed pace with a small group of max 20 people and a trip captain handling everything.
